Each stop on the tour highlights microbiota research, imagining how it might reshape our daily lives and habits over the next two decades.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Debates over the relationship between human health, food, science and culture have made microbiota research one of the most vibrant and contested areas of inquiry in the life sciences. Microbial interactions are notoriously complex, but there are also great pressures to create profitable products and therapies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This has lead to cycles of hype, skepticism and self-experimentation. This tour explores future fantasies from Paleo Gut Gardening to a Microbiome Pick-n-Mix, and asks you, the tour-goer, to discuss and consider what kind of microbial future you want and desire.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>TOUR STOPS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>1.
